    Uhm... Berlisle is the one with the huge hotel and used to have an animal park (but the council shut it down so it's only the deer that are left after SPCA got involved and said it would be animal cruelty to move them). Rozelle has a huge duck pond. Stepping stones may have been just at the river Ayr? Big area of pebbles in the middle?

    When we go in the spare room he actually moves himself up to put his head on my pillow and if he's on the pillow he doesn't wake at all. I have a child who wants to break all the rules - wonder where he gets that from :whistle:

    Molly's the same way - she loves the pillow. I tend to wait till she's asleep and then sneak her down off it so it's just touching the top of her head.
    Edit: She has a blanket in the big bed - Germans have a thing that I think is awesome, a bed has two single covers on it so there's no blanket theft. Our bed has two covers and a light blanket. She has a 3 tog quilt in her crib but she mostly sleeps on it because she likes to scratch at it.

    Anyone seen a cute 'bug' outfit for a 1yo?

    Stick him in a green sleepsuit and a pair of those bouncing things that hang on the top of headbands. Job done.

    Pretty sure Keira got her own pillow at about 18months. Not sure what they reccomend? But I bought a £14 one from mothercare - what a waste of money!! Would of been better giving her a flat pancake one off my bed :rotfl:

    Funnily enough we still have Keira's first duvet thing, it's dead small, but the cat uses it as a bed :rotfl:

    I'm back!!!

    Laptop has been very poorly but is all fixed now for the cost of 3 boxes of Cadburys Fingers!

    Virus protection has also been upgraded.

    Just need to save up to buy more memory for it now so I can upgrade to Windows 7.

    Katie has taken to wearing an improvised tail (a belt with another belt tied to it) so she can be Mouse!

    Hugs, well done, congratulations all round.

    Meet - I don't think I'll make the meet this month as all pennies are being saved for holibobs in June.

    Duvets - Katie got a quilt and a pillow when she moved into a bed before that it was blankets or sleeping bags. I think hers is a 10.5 tog.

    Back soon lunch is being demanded.

    I have my little cat home now :D

    Trying to get kids to tidy their rooms with limited success. After getting them all those clothes last week I went through all their drawers and was amazed at how much dirty stuff they had just rammed in their drawers at the last attempt at tidying. :o I had noticed there were was a discrepancy in what had been worn and what was in the basket but still :eek:
    Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession :o:o

    Ahh Amber slept better last night and i finally got to sleep after the tarantula incident.

    She woke at 7:30am so i fed her in bed and she slept til about 5 mins ago :eek: She obviously needed to catch up from the 2 previous nights where she had me up at all hours. So i didn't bother getting up til about 11am LOL, DS went to play in his friends garden

    Im not to sure, i know Fishcake lives near me in Havant and Moosmummy is in Waterlooville.
    And i think someone is in Fareham too, i forgot who though :p

    It should be somewhere central. I dont drive so possibly somewhere that a train can get to :D

    ETA: And GISI is in Southampton, i know that :)
